Overview

A Well-Designed Life

From the founders of Lifehouse Design, this reimagined 120-year-old semi-detached cottage offers a compelling dialogue between heritage and contemporary architecture. Nestled privately behind a leafy frontage, the home unfolds with spatial clarity and material richness, embracing light, texture, and a deep connection to nature. The original cottage retains its tactile charm, dark-stained timber floors, high ceilings, and double-hung windows. A front-facing sitting room, anchored by a gas fireplace within a period surround, sets a warm tone. Three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged: one facing the street, and two positioned off the central hallway, each offering quiet retreat and character. In 2019, a considered architectural addition was introduced, a new rhythm to the home. A central courtyard, once the site of the original kitchen, now forms a tranquil core, softened by Virginia creeper and framed by the original brick fireplace. From here, the plan cascades into a north-facing living zone, where recycled materials, polished concrete floors, and expansive glazing create a seamless connection to the garden. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and second living area is both functional and expressive. Bespoke joinery conceals a Euro-style laundry, while a gas cooktop, undermount oven, and drawer dishwasher are integrated with precision. A Nectre wood heater and cleverly recessed split system ensure year-round comfort. The bathroom is a study in spatial efficiency and elegance, with a wall-hung basin, shower, bath, and toilet, all illuminated by a light well that draws natural light deep into the plan. To the rear, the north-facing garden is a private sanctuary, established with ornamental trees, hedging, and productive raised vegetable beds. A shed offers additional utility, while the integrated solar system and high-performance insulation (6 Air Cell, 9-star energy rating) reflect the home's commitment to low-impact living. Positioned within walking distance to Castlemaine's town centre and the bushland trails of Kalimna Park, this home offers an exceptional balance of urban amenity and natural retreat.
